Mandatory Rainbow 6 Yields Multiple $6,047 Payouts
Jockey Jose Morelos Registers Sunday Hat Trick
Royal Palm Meet Resumes with 8 Live Races Thursday
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool yielded multiple payoffs of $6,047.50 Sunday at Gulfstream Park.
The popular multi-race wager had gone unsolved for 11 consecutive racing days since last hit for a $121,198.50 payout March 21.
First-time starter Yes It Tiz ($) captured the Race 10 finale to complete the winning 1-1-2-9-4-7 combination. A total of $3,455,240 was wagered into the Rainbow 6 on top of a $558,781.56 carryover from Saturday’s program.
Other winners in the sequence were Seekingbythestorm ($15.80) in Race 5, Reputation ($5.60) in Race 6, Uranium ($14.60) in Race 7, Make Haste ($8.40) in Race 8 and Fantasy Performer ($14.40) in Race 9.
In the Rainbow 6, the jackpot pool is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day’s pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.
However, on mandatory payout days the entire Rainbow 6 jackpot pool is paid out to the bettor or bettors with the most winners in the six-race sequence. It was the first mandatory of the Royal Palm Meet after a planned payout for March 30 was scrapped when live racing was canceled midway through the closing day program of the 2024-2025 Championship Meet.
The Rainbow 6 begins anew when live racing resumes Thursday starting at 12:50 p.m. The sequence spans Races 3-8 and includes a starter optional claimer for older fillies and mares on the all-weather Tapeta in Race 7 where David’s Rose chases a ninth career win and Mywifeknowsitall has run first or second in six consecutive starts.
Thursday’s feature comes in Race 2, a maiden special weight for 2-year-old fillies sprinting 4 ½ furlongs on the main track led by Bohemian, by freshman sire Essential Quality, and the Arindel duo of Mystical and Drama. It is Gulfstream’s first juvenile race of the season.
There will be a carryover of $16,555 in the $1 Super High Five (Race 8).
Notes: Jockey Jose Morelos visited the winner’s circle three times Sunday with Starship Voyager ($8.20) in Race 1, More Than Glory ($29.40) in Race 3 and Seekingbythestorm ($15.80) in Race 5 … Jesus Rios doubled aboard Three Zero ($4.20) in Race 4 and Uranium ($14.60) in Race 7 … Edgard Zayas added two more wins to his meet-leading total with Make Haste ($8.40) in Race 8 and Yes It Tiz ($14) in Race 10.
